Hippo Campus is an awful burden I’ve had to schlep for three years too many. If you even needed further proof that the twenty-tens and music don’t bode well together, look no further.
Call me an old man. Tell me I don’t get it. But before you do that, check out this excerpt from their Wikipedia page (whose prior lack thereof used to be the band’s signature bragging point):
Hippo Campus is an indie rock band from St. Paul, Minnesota. They are signed to Grand Jury Records in the United States and Transgressive Records in the UK. They have performed at South by Southwest, Lollapalooza, Red Rocks, Conan, and Reading and Leeds. In November 2015, they played a sold out show at the iconic venue First Avenue.
Which robot wrote this, and why could my dick do a better job?
Anyway, here’s a transcript from an interview with the band that probably happened:
Pitchfork or whatever: So, Jake [Luppen], tell us about your new album that’s coming out.
Jake Luppen: Yep, so we have our debut album, landmine., coming out in February.
